I have already PM'd Codetapper and Galaxy, but thought I'd also share this here.

Amiga Format Issue 136 (May 2000) - final collector's edition:

I have scanned all 84 pages from this issue of Amiga Format (the last issue ever produced) in 300dpi quality, for the Amiga Magazine Rack archive.

Now I'm not sure if these scans have already been contributed and are just awaiting being uploaded (or if the project has since gone quiet), however these are quite high quality scans and some pages may be better quality, so hopefully they won't be completely useless in that case

Out of the 101 pages I scanned today, some will no doubt need rotating and cropping (among other possible tweaks). Does anyone care to make these scans ready for the Amiga Magazine Rack and upload them there?

Hi, PM received, and due to Codetapper being very busy at the moment I decided to respond here.

I'm not sure why the RAR won't download, as I just tried it and it worked fine (with Megaupload's 45 second wait for non-paying members).

The scans I did will most likely require processing before being rescaled from 300dpi to 100dpi, such as rotation and cropping as well as brightness/contrast and any other possible filters. This will likely take several hours for the 101 pages I scanned, but first the most appropriate processing software/algorithms will need to be tested and chosen. I'm sure there are others more experienced with this than myself, if anyone would like to offer any suggestions.

I have posted about this in case anyone else would like to process it (uploading that many scans took enough time), in the meantime the raw scans are still downloadable.

I have a few other Amiga magazines left, but they are more like fragments than whole issues. I'll see if I get the time to scan some more.

I don't really know how the AMR contributions are handled or where they are stored. I will ask Cody later where the official place for uploads is. Someone should put that on the AMR site. Maybe the HOL FTP is the right place, but I have to ask (or get an answer here) first.

Just 2 pages I found which appeared to be missing from AMR's issue 59.

I also have the following Amiga Format magazines, almost complete, which I haven't scanned (and doing all of it may not be possible), and may or may not be in the AMR already awaiting sorting.
Let me know which would be useful:

I also have an issue of sister magazine Amiga Power which seems to be missing from the AMR:
- Amiga Power issue 51 (July 1995) (88 pages). This is almost complete.

If anyone is interested in scanning these in in full, I'm willing to sell all 4 magazines for the cost of postage and packing (they aren't good enough condition to put on the market), on condition AMR and myself get a copy of the scans.

I specialise in digital restoration, and if there is any half decent scans of these, I could restore to there former glory or die trying , I think magazines like this need to be fully cropped and straighten and de-screened to perfection..

Nope, they are fine the way they are, that first one is my cleaned up version and it's not a scan either What do you mean very little work required? besides it's from a camera m8 and a bit of jiggery pokery too

sorry put wrongly..little work required meaning that..it's a 9/10, but since you mentioned taking it with a camera, then a 10/10 m8...nicely done..now why can't they be all like that ?
